Exact same issue for several weeks, dating back to the original post. Around the same time that the Adobe Updater tried to download Creative Cloud updates even though I'm not subscribed - and how glad I am about that! Lightroom is basically useless for my purposes right now. Anyone home?

All this month of silence says is "We know that taking your money and not providing a working product in return is wrong and we couldn't even pretend to defend doing it if we were engaged in a discussion."

It'd be great if Adobe could do one of the following:

Communicate with the people it's taking money from.orAllow us to pause our subscriptions so long as Adobe can't fulfill their end of the contract.orResolve the technical issue.

When I spoke to someone at Adobe about the fact that they're still trying to demand 5 months worth of payments on my contract if I cancel until this is resolved, I was told to work with tech support to resolve my issue. (because you know... calling tech support isn't going to be a pointless source of frustration given that the issue is on their end)

I have no idea how a company that has this level of respect for its consumers ever became an industry standard.

I have the same problem. Extremly annoying! I hate it when I have to go into the map module. It is almost useless as it is now. It has been like that for several months as I can remember. I have the latest version on OSX. Cant belive Adobe hasnt fixed this yet. Is nobody testing Lightroom?

I have the problem, too. It used to happen before this past month, just very infrequently (usually after a few hours worth of work, and a restart would take care of the issue for a long while). Now the issue begins immediately. That's very frustrating on a feature that is an absolute necessity for my work. And because I have several hundreds of pictures to manually geotag ... I'm very disappointed in Adobe that this problem has been known for three weeks already, with nary an update - much less an actual fix.

I've just joined the photoshop family forum as I'm having problems with the map which is driving me insane. In the past few weeks to a month or so, it has started showing the "Map is offline" message when I zoom in or out and slowing my workflow down dramatically. I had been going back over old photos to insert GPS co-ordinates over the last year but this is grinding to a halt as the system has suddenly started to slow down. Is anyone at Adobe REALLY looking at this issue? Anyway, it is almost reassuring that it is not just me who's having this problem.

Ok, maybe I don't know how hard it is to fix but the fact that we have not heard anything official from Adobe in over 3 weeks is very poor. If it wasn't for the post on this forum I doubt anyone would have heard from Adobe anywhere unless someone knows of some other place Adobe have spoken regarding this issue.

Still having this issue. Beginning to actively look into cataloguing options other than LIghtroom. I moved from Aperture a year ago because Apple ceased development. But LIghtroom has been a big disappointment- the performance is an order of magnitude slower than Aperture, even after upgrading the MacPro to 2x 3.4Ghz Xeons, nVidia 960Ti and 2x 2Tb SSD PCIe storage. The performance is *shockingly* bad for a database that basically has 40,000 records.

Lightroom CC2015.12/6.12 was released today and should address this issue. Please update your Lightroom to the latest version and let us know if you continue to see the issue. Thank you for your patience.

Why can't I update LR to fix this problem? I have a standalone version v6.3, but it tells me I need CC to do the update. However a few months ago I was asked to do an update and there was no problem with that. Help please!

Use the Adobe Creative Cloud app to update Lightroom. If the update doesn't show as available after refreshing the app [Ctrl/Cmd+[Alt/Opt]+[R]. Use the CC App to uninstall Lightroom, restart, and then use the app to reinstall Lightroom.

Lightroom 4.4.1, camera raw 7.4, windows 7 and as of 2 Sept the map module is not working. Blank page with "map is offline" message when switching to map module or when switching map style. Interestingly, when I enter an address in the search window the search is performed, the address is updated, i.e. if I enter "Reno" the search returns "Reno, NV, US", and a yellow marker appears on the black screen. To me, this indicates that the map is in fact online.This is really annoying that the problem is not solved yet.

finally... The map module works very fine now.Maybe the Question is stupid: will the update of the Map Module also be available for LR5.7.1 users?(updates for Windows 8 are being installed although win 10 is out...)
